Why does everyone seem to think the B3 is some sort of race engine?

i found the fastest 1/4 mile time i could get was much faster when i reved it right out to about 6500 in first and 6100 in 2nd to get the rpms up as high as possible when i get in the next gear or it would be out of the power band... then it would pick back up after a sec...

Does anyone have any info on the powerband for the B-3? I was randomly reading about the Chevy 350 LT-1, and how it had 370hp and a 6800 redline, but after 6200 rpm power drops out significantly. How does one figure out the power curves for different RPMs, cuz that would shure give one the ability to know exactly how to shift for ultimate acceleration. If anyone has any info on this for the B-3 that would be super. Or for that matter some of the other B series might be interesting to see the info on.
